Summer Asymmetry

I love these nails. You may have noticed a theme this summer for me in the pastels and asymmetry... I keep going back to it. I am also thinking of awesome nails for an upcoming photo shoot and I think a version of these nails is going to be the go. Maybe with added bling...



ps. I had just been building a sand castle boat  when I realised I hadn't taken a photo of these -  hence the sandy nails!

Sticky shapes


I saw an idea online (have a look at my pintrest page if you are interested in the source), using sellotape to create coloured shapes. So you literally paint your polish on the tape, wait to dry and then cut into funky shapes, stick on your painted nails randomly and then top coat. Easy & mega as! xx

Mini-mani ideas wheel


I have been working on some ideas for mini manis  - kids nail art. I am looking to manufacture or import non-toxic nail polish and get some proper kids nail art happening (not just poxy Barbie & Dora toxic awfulness) In these ones I used some nail polish and also tried using kids acrylic paint for the designs with top coat. They worked pretty well although in practice (on my mini guinea pig) they came off within the day... I'll keep trying.




Fluoro White Stripes


 Unlike the kids of today fluoro isn't a hipster statement but rather a desperate attempt to recapture my misspent youth listening to Young MC & Monie Love and wearing bubble skirts and mismatched fluorescent socks. Hot.
